  20/**
  21 * packing - Convert numbers (currently u64) between a packed and an unpacked
  22 *           format. Unpacked means laid out in memory in the CPU's native
  23 *           understanding of integers, while packed means anything else that
  24 *           requires translation.
  25 *
  26 * @pbuf: Pointer to a buffer holding the packed value.
  27 * @uval: Pointer to an u64 holding the unpacked value.
  28 * @startbit: The index (in logical notation, compensated for quirks) where
  29 *            the packed value starts within pbuf. Must be larger than, or
  30 *            equal to, endbit.
  31 * @endbit: The index (in logical notation, compensated for quirks) where
  32 *          the packed value ends within pbuf. Must be smaller than, or equal
  33 *          to, startbit.
  34 * @op: If PACK, then uval will be treated as const pointer and copied (packed)
  35 *      into pbuf, between startbit and endbit.
  36 *      If UNPACK, then pbuf will be treated as const pointer and the logical
  37 *      value between startbit and endbit will be copied (unpacked) to uval.
  38 * @quirks: A bit mask of QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN, QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST and
  39 *          QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT.
  40 *
  41 * Return: 0 on success, EINVAL or ERANGE if called incorrectly. Assuming
  42 *         correct usage, return code may be discarded.
  43 *         If op is PACK, pbuf is modified.
  44 *         If op is UNPACK, uval is modified.
